INTRODUCTION
BUDGET PROCESS
The City of Cottage Grove City code Title 1, Chapter 6-3(d) sets the requirement that the City Administrator
must prepare and submit an annual budget to the City Council. The budget follows the calendar year,
January 1 to December 31. Minnesota State Statutes requires that the preliminary budget and proposed tax
levy be approved by Council prior to September 30th each year and the preliminary levy must be certified to
the County Auditor by September 30th also. Once adopted, the preliminary tax levy may be decreased
before final adoption but not increased.
The City's budget process is guided by policies and ordinances which have been adopted by the City Council.
The City Administrator and City staff address the Council's direction as part of the budget preparations by
consideration of the financial impacts of implementation of said policies. Program and equipment requests
are evaluated and prioritized and appropriations are included in the final budget at the discretion of the City
Council.
The City continued its practice of preparing a two year budget - the second year as a draft to review the
ongoing impacts of any changes requested. In June, department heads submitted their budget requests
through online access to the City's financial and budgeting software. The software's Projection Scenario
module allowed for input of summary data along with detail and notes on budgetary changes to line item
requests. Paper forms for Budget additions and supporting documentation were also submitted for review
by the City Administrator and Finance Director during departmental meetings. Preliminary budget
projections, Budget Addition requests and supporting documents were submitted to the City Council in three
workshops in July and August to determine what positions, expenses and equipment requests would be
included in the preliminary budget and tax levy. The City Council adopted a preliminary levy and budget on
September 7.
In November, Washington County sent each taxpayer a notice indicating the proposed property tax for 2023
and the date and time of the City's public meeting. On December 7, the Council approved the proposed
2023 budget and the property tax levy to finance the approved budget.
BUDGET ORGANIZATION
The City's operating budget is presented herein. The expenditure accounts within the funds that comprise
the budget are grouped by departments and divided by programs within each department. A fund is defined
as an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts and resources which are
dedicated to a specific purpose.
The following funds are covered in the budget document: General fund; Special Revenue funds - Recycling
fund, Storm Water fund, Forfeiture fund, Ice Arena fund, Golf Course fund, and Economic Development
Authority (EDA) fund; Capital Project funds - Equipment Replacement fund and Sealcoating fund; Enterprise
funds - Water fund, Sewer fund, Streetlight fund and EMS (Ambulance) Fund; and Internal Service funds -

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jennifer Levitt, City Administrator
Date: January 1, 2023
Subject: 2023 Budget Transmittal
The following is the Council Adopted Budget for the City of Cottage Grove municipal operations during the 2023
fiscal year. The document includes all major operating fuƓķƭ ƚŅ ƷŷĻ /źƷǤ ğƓķ ĭƚƓĭƌǒķĻƭ ƓĻğƩƌǤ ğ ǤĻğƩƭ ǞƚƩƷŷ ƚŅ
planning, evaluation, and discussion by the Council and staff. The budget, along with the Capital Improvements
Program, provides direction to staff to carry out community and Council initiatives throughout the year.
Strategic planning sessions were held in January and February. Four Strategic Initiatives were identified that have
been used throughout the budget process:
Managing Sustainable Growth
Reforming Organizational Culture
Recreational Destination
Engaging Community
These initiatives provided the direction which has guided City officials and staff through the creation of the 2023
budget.
.ǒķŭĻƷ {ǒƒƒğƩǤ
When the preliminary budget was first given to Council in July, the 2023 levy was proposed as a 13.09% increase
over the 2022 levy, which was an increase to the general operational levy only. When the preliminary levy was
adopted in September, the levy increase was set at 12.6%. The same levy that was adopted in December, which
includes a total property tax levy for 2023 of $20.739 million; an increase of 12.6%.
tƩƚƦĻƩƷǤ ğǣ wğƷĻƭ
The total taxable value of City property will increase in 2022 by 24.6%. Approximately 4% of this increase is due
to new construction and the remainder is due to taxable market value changes to existing properties. This increase
combined with the levy increase will result in a tax capacity rate of 33.74 in 2023; a decrease from 37.15 in 2022.

Total General Fund revenues and expenditures are estimated at $23,083,960 for 2023. This is an increase of 12%.
2023 Expenditures are proposed to increase due to the following:

Commodities and Contractual services - The 2023 budget includes a 14.81% increase in budgeted
commodities and a 13.52% increase in contractual services. Higher fuel costs and the cost of the Red Dot
system for public safety is driving the increase in the commodities category. Increased costs for IT services
and building maintenance services are causing the increase in the contractual services category.

Recycling
The revenue in this fund is the recycling grant amount expected to be received from Washington County.
Expenditures meet but do not exceed the amount of the grant funding.
Stormwater
Rates are proposed to increase by 3% as per the 2022-2026 Stormwater Utility Fund Plan. Expenditures include
stormwater maintenance activities and a pickup truck for the stormwater lead worker. There is a transfer out to
the Pavement Management fund for stormwater activities performed as part of the 2023 pavement management
project.
Roadway Maintenance

sealing, mill and overlay, curb and sidewalk replacement, and trail seal coating. 2023 revenues are sufficient to
fund the 2023 expenditures.

This fund includes the associated costs related to forfeiture activities. The revenues for 2023 will fund the
expenditures for 2023.
Ice Arena
Revenues are budgeted at $110,670 over expenditures in the 2023 budget due to a return to normal operations.
Decreased revenues were experienced in 2019 when the refrigeration system was replaced, and 2020/2021 when
COVID-19 impacted all programming.
Golf Course
Revenues are budgeted at $84,580 over expenditures in the 2023 budget. Revenue projections are based on
40,000 rounds of golf.
EDA Fund
The EDA property tax levy is proposed at $125,000 for 2023 which is the same amount as 2022. The 2023 budget
continues to include the Marketing and Communications staff member for the Convention and Visitors Bureau,

flow in the city and a Met Council budget increase of 5.5%

improvement needs of the street light system and traffic signals.

The city continues to be well positioned to respond to whatever economic growth and change will come. The City
Council maintains a stated goal of ensuring the fiscal health of the organization while strategically planning for
economic cycles. The City Council and staff consistently focus on fiscal opportunities, potential challenges, and
fund balance growth. We continually evaluate systems and operations to discover efficiencies and improve the
delivery of City services.
The city continues to strive for fiscal stability. Like the thirteen budgets before it, the 2022 budget was created in
concert with a draft 2023 budget to see the impact initiatives have on the long-term budget, assuring that current
initiatives did not create future budget imbalances. This model provides the base for long-term financial planning
necessary for a well-managed and fiscally stable municipality.
Currently, the city is preparing a ten-year Financial Management Plan in order to ensure that future tax levies are
sufficient to fund identified operational expenses, existing and future debt service, and future capital projects
including the Pavement Management Program.
Long-term planning and fiscal conservatism have situated the City of Cottage Grove with strong fund balances and
cash reserves. This solid base provides the city with not only the ability to face economic challenges, but also the
wherewithal to take advantage of economic development opportunities. All the planning and financial stability is
nothing, however, without quality City services provided to residents and businesses in a timely, responsive
manner. Cottage Grove City employees provide these services to the community in good times and bad. It is my
honor to call these dedicated workers my colleagues.

*Population based on MN BCA Records
Part I Crimes are defined as "serious" crimes. The eight crimes represented include murder, rape, aggravated assault,
robbery, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft and arson. These crimes are included due to the uniformity of definition,
total volumes, and probability of being reported.
Part II Crimes are generally less serious in nature and include all other crime classifications other than those listed in Part I
crimes. Examples could include narcotics, other assaults, and liquor violations.
The Minnesota BCA collects only Part I & II Crime Data from Law Enforcement Agencies.
*Crime Statistics based on MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension statistics.
In comparing FTEÓs, it is important to note that Part I Î Part II Crimes and/or Incidents routinely require the presence of two police
officers, and often more than two are required to respond due to the serious and potentially dangerous nature of requests for
service.
*Overtime hours worked includes both compensation time and paid time.
*2022 Overtime hours worked & expenditures based on YTD 6-13-22.
*Training hours worked overlap with straight time hours worked and 2022 hours based on YTD 6-23-22.
*Reimbursements includes all revenue for the department, only a few are listed and estimated as of 6-23-22.

Program Description
River Oaks is a municipal golf course that appeals to golfers of all skill levels, with outstanding turf conditions, great
customer service, and food and beverage options. It is an 18-hole course with Toptracer practice range and golf shop.
Leagues, lessons and events are programmed regularly to market to all demographics. Cross Country ski and snowshoe
trails are groomed for free use to the public in winter months.
The River Oaks Event Center is a multi-purpose banquet facility that is designed to host programs and events of all sizes.
The Eagles Bar and Grill is full-service and caters to both golfers and casual diners. With the upgrade of the event center,
